Safety instructions

Warning!

Read all safety notes and instructions. Failure to comply with the safety information and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury

Keep all safety notes and instructions for future reference.

This power tool is to be used as a polisher. Observe all safety information, instructions, illustrations and data that you receive with the device. If you do not observe the following instructions. Electrical shock, fire and/or serious injury may result.
This power tool is not suitable for grinding, sandpaper grinding, working with wire brushes and cut-off grinding. Uses for which the power tool is not intended can cause hazards and injuries.
Do not use accessories that are not specifically intended and recommended by the manufacturer for this power tool. Just because you can attach the accessory to your power tool does not guarantee safe use.
The permissible speed of the insert tool must be at least as high as the maximum speed indicated on the power tool. Accessories that rotate faster than permitted may break and fly around.
The outer diameter and thickness of the insert tool must correspond to the dimensional specifications of your power tool. Incorrectly sized insert tools cannot be adequately shielded or controlled.
Grinding wheels, grinding discs or other accessories must fit exactly on the grinding spindle of your power tool. Insert tools that do not fit exactly on the grinding spindle of the power tool rotate unevenly, vibrate very strongly and can lead to loss of control.
Do not use damaged insert tools. Before each use, check insert tools for chipping and cracks, grinding discs for cracks, wear or heavy wear. If the power tool or the insert tool falls down, check whether it is damaged or use an undamaged insert tool. When you have inspected and used the insert tool, keep yourself and nearby persons out of the plane of the rotating insert tool and let the unit run at maximum speed for one minute. Damaged insert tools usually break in this test time.
Wear personal protective equipment. Use full face shield, eye protection or safety glasses, depending on the application. Where appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protection, protective gloves or special apron that keeps small abrasive and material particles away from you. Eyes should be protected from flying foreign objects generated during various applications. Dust mask or respirator must filter the dust generated during the application. If you are exposed to loud noise for a long time, you may suffer hearing loss.
Keep other people a safe distance from your work area. Everyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of the workpiece or broken insert tools can fly away and cause injuries even outside the direct working area.
Hold the tool only by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing work where the insert tool may hit hidden power lines or its own power cord. Contact with a live line can also energize metal parts of the device and lead to an electric shock.
Keep the power cord away from rotating insert tools.
If you lose control of the tool, the power cord may be cut or caught and your hand or arm may be caught in the spinning insert tool.
Never put the power tool down until the insert tool has come to a complete stop.
The rotating insert tool may come into contact with the storage surface, causing you to lose control of the power tool.
Do not run the power tool while carrying it.
Your clothing can be caught by accidental contact with the spinning insert tool and the insert tool can drill into your body.
Regularly clean the ventilation slots of your power tool.
The motor fan draws dust into the housing, and a heavy accumulation of metal dust can cause electrical hazards.
Do not use the power tool near flammable materials.
Sparks can ignite these materials.
Do not use insert tools that require liquid coolants.
The use of water or other liquid coolants may result in electric shock.

Setback and corresponding safety instructions

Kickback is the sudden reaction resulting from a hooked or jammed rotating insert tool, such as grinding wheel, grinding disc, wire brush, etc. Hooking or jamming results in an abrupt stop of the rotating insert tool. This causes an uncontrolled power tool to accelerate against the direction of rotation of the insert tool at the jamming point. For example, if a grinding wheel hooks or jams in the workpiece, the edge of the grinding wheel that plunges into the workpiece may become caught, causing the grinding wheel to break free or kick back. The grinding wheel then moves toward or away from the operator, depending on the direction of rotation of the wheel at the jamming point. Grinding wheels can also break during this process. Kickback is the result of incorrect or faulty use of the power tool. It can be prevented by taking suitable precautions as described below.

Hold the power tool firmly and place your body and arms in a position where you can absorb the recoil forces. Always use the auxiliary handle, if available, to have the greatest possible control over recoil forces or reaction moments during run-up. The operator can control the recoil and reaction forces by taking appropriate precautions.
Never bring your hand close to rotating insert tools. The insert tool can move over your hand during recoil.
Avoid the area with your body where the power tool will move in the event of a kickback. The kickback drives the power tool in the direction opposite to the movement of the grinding wheel at the blocking point.
Work particularly carefully in the area of corners, sharp edges, etc. Prevent insert tools from bouncing off the workpiece and jamming.
The rotating insert tool tends to jam at corners, sharp edges or when it bounces. This causes a loss of control or kickback.
Do not use a chain or serrated saw blade.
Such insert tools often cause kickback or loss of control of the power tool.

Special safety instructions for polishing

Do not allow any loose parts of the polishing hood, especially fastening cords. Stow away or shorten the fastening cords.
Loose, co-rotating fastening cords can catch your fingers or get caught in the workpiece

Further safety instructions

Mains voltage and voltage specification on the type plate must match.
Only press the spindle lock when the tool is stationary.

Noise and vibration

Sound pressure level: 90dB(A);
Sound power level: 101 dB(A);
Uncertainty: K= 3 dB.
Total vibration value (when polishing paint surfaces with a sponge):
Emission value ah = 2.5 m/s2
Uncertainty: K= 1.5 m/s2

CAUTION!
The measured values given apply to new devices. Noise and vibration values change during daily use.

NOTE
The vibration level specified in these instructions has been measured according to a measurement method standardized in EN 60745 and can be used for comparing power tools with each other. It is also suitable for a preliminary assessment of the vibration load. The specified vibration level represents the main applications of the power tool. However, if the power tool is used for other applications, with different application tools or insufficient maintenance, the vibration level may differ. This can significantly increase the vibration exposure over the entire working period. For an accurate estimate of the vibration load, the times when the unit is switched off or running but not actually in use should also be taken into account. This can significantly reduce the vibration exposure over the entire work period. Specify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: Maintenance of power tool and insert tools, keeping hands warm, organization of work procedures.

CAUTION!
Wear hearing protection if sound pressure exceeds 85 dB(A).
